Presenters Shanna K. Katari PhD, MEd, CSE, ACS (they/them/theirs) Assistant Professor School of Social Work | Department of Women’s and Gender Studies Session Description: This session will outline the hoops to jump through to get accommodations, well-intentioned colleagues who just don’t understand access, and a barrage of ableist microaggressions face those with disabilities who enter the Academy. Moreover, in talks of diversity and social justice, disability is often a footnote, if it is even included at all. Dr. Kattari will discuss some of the biggest challenges regarding ableism in higher education, while also offering some suggestions on how to begin disability justice work and be a better accomplice to disabled peers and colleagues.
